Government Games 2024

[Verse]
Governments playing their games
Ignore the crowd
We're just faces and names
Truth locked away
In shadows it stays
Censors on parade
We just guess and pray

[Verse 2]
Print money all night
We grind and we sweat
But can't win that fight
Cheap wages we earn
Our pockets still burn
Another bill takes
All that we’ve yearned

[Chorus]
Taxing our hopes
Taxing our dreams
Follow along
Tied up in schemes
Banks pulling strings
Puppets we be
Just another day
In this cruel fantasy

[Verse 3]
Scammers in suits
With their golden delight
Deceit in their roots
Rules out of sight
They bring in the loot
Take flight like a kite
While we wrestle down
In our endless plight

[Bridge]
Hey Mr Banker
What’s the deal?
Steal from the poor
Spin the wheel
Lines filled with ache
And groans concealed
But you walk away
Your fate sealed

[Chorus]
Taxing our hopes
Taxing our dreams
Follow along
Tied up in schemes
Banks pulling strings
Puppets we be
Just another day
In this cruel fantasy
